This
product is a result of our using the O.E. replacement parts we manufacture on
our own Hot Rods. Auto-Tech Plastics is primarily a manufacturer of automotive
replacement trim and moldings (since 1989), and we have our own “skunk
works” where we do product development and work on our street rods and projects.

We started to use our extruded plastic flexible chrome trim
to supplement or replace non-existent, badly damaged, and seriously expensive
stainless and chrome trim. At first it was just to replace missing original
pieces, and the fact they were non-O.E. replacements went un-noticed, as it
should be. When we went all-out on a ’38 Ford and trimmed
out the grill and hood vents (parts that never had, but we felt should have had
chrome trim), it got attention! Originally intended only for our personal
amusement, when our rodder buddies came around they wanted to know who did
all the custom chrome!

It soon became obvious we had something other rodders could
use. It also led to the development of our PT Woody product line.You can see these products by clicking on the PT Woody Products icon or visiting www.ptwoody.com

Please don’t misunderstand. Few things are more impressive than
custom fabricated chrome plated brass trim or restored-to-perfection stainless
on a $250,000.00 rod, custom, or stocker. This isn’t a replacement for that kind
of commitment. But, for a cost effective alternative that few will realize isn’t
O.E. or custom made, this is the answer.

The photos of our sample boards will give you an idea of the
flexibility of these products. On the other pages of this site we will explain
in further detail the products, possible applications, and examples of how we
and some of our friends have used them.
